The Demise of ACC Football
Inane utterances from the local media, gross inaccuracies perpetrated by the national media, and glaring inadequacies of State’s athletic department frequently provide topics to address here. But every so often, someone in one of the organizations that we often ridicule will absolutely nail an issue. Such is the case with an article today by Pete […]
State’s ACC Schedule
Jeff’s partial listing of RPI rankings earlier this week held several surprises and spurred me into looking at State’s ACC schedule versus these too-early RPI rankings. So let’s look a little closer at the surprises (well they surprised me anyway) as well as State’s ACC schedule which doesn’t open until next weekend against UNC. STATE […]

In the case of a conference contractual affiliation, all conference […]
Wake Forest Preview
I almost didn’t do a WF preview this week. The keys to the game should be obvious to anyone that has watched any ACC football at all over the last several years. But before we get to those, let’s take a little closer look at a few areas that caught my attention. WF Rushing Attack […]
Bowl Game Possibilities
If you are a member of the NC State football team, then you need to quit wasting time on internet chatter and get back to work on preparing for Wake Forest. For everyone else, let’s pool what we can find from official or media sources about bowl games and the selection process to see where […]
